What is this double standards, INDIA?
From the web site

I see the compulsory holiday list includes,
Mahavir jayanti,
Buddha purnima,
Gurunanak jayanthi,
besides a few other religious festivals.
Who celebrates these three listed holidays here in Tamil Nadu? No doubt there may be some people celebrating, but what about us the Tamilians?
Don't we miss service from banks for our daily business and needs on these days though more than 95% of bank employees themselves do not celebrate these "events"( not functions as defined by you)?
Most Tamil Nadu private offices work on these days.
If you can give holidays for these so called functions, what prevents you from including Pongal as a compulsory functional holiday in all locations.
Let all INDIAN public enjoy another day as a holiday, whether it is worth to them or not!
If you are running short of days, remove one of these!
Enough damage has ALREADY been done from preventing Tamils from celebrating Jallikattu, that is a great CULTURAL event here.
Purposefully "BY SOME WESTERN AIDED ORGANISATIONS" that has been brought under the list of cruelty to animals. But is it CRUEL?
Then why not prevent production and sale of mutton and chicken? is that not cruel killing of animals?
Please remember that such DOUBLE standards will lead to your downfall, whether you are headed by any political party, BJP now or Congress earlier.
Let us Transform India, not divide.
"Unity in diversity", what does it mean?
Please mature or get ready for revolutions, like French revolution of "21st century"! more
